Peel police say a suspect accused in a fatal Mississauga hit-and-run over the weekend had time to stop their car and conceal their licence plate as they fled the scene, but did not try to help the victim.

On Friday night, police said a pedestrian crossing the road in the area of Eglinton Avenue West and Fallingbrook Drive was struck and killed by someone driving a Mini Cooper.

Police said the suspect fled the scene and was later seen on CCTV “moments after the crash,” stopping the vehicle to remove the rear licence plate and put it in their trunk.

“That’s unbelievable, the fact the suspect stopped shortly after to remove the licence plate but did not render any assistance,” Peel Regional Police Const. Mandeep Khatra said on Tuesday. “That’s just very sad and unfortunate.”
